“I would recommend Nicholas as a script editor for film and television. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and great at giving structural insights that can significantly enhance your projects. His writing and acting backgrounds give him a greater hands-on understanding of character and story structure, which when combined with his honest and compassionate attitude make up a powerful analytical toolkit that he skilfully wields.”
“Nick is the ideal sounding board to keep your script on track. I was profoundly impressed with how efficiently Nick was able to read my draft, assess its strengths and weaknesses and provide insightful, clear and specific suggestions for how to take it to the next draft. I never felt he imposed his own tastes or ideas, but simply offered encouraging and intelligent questions and tips relating to character, theme, structure, and plot. I’d recommend his services to any writer.”
We engaged Nicholas at Bus Stop Films for 12 months to teach our students with intellectual disability about script writing and specifically, to develop a course around teaching them the Hero's Journey model for feature film writing. During that time, I witnessed his passion for writing engage our students in ways that inspired and challenged them. Nicholas has a wonderful knowledge of script structure, is collaborative, creative and an all-round lovely person to work with. He’s thoughtful, highly empathetic and compassionate and would make a fantastic collaborator on any creative project.
Nicholas was a student in the Advanced Diploma of Script Editing and Development course I taught at the AFTRS in 2018. Nick was a delight. Thoughtful, intelligent and immensely gracious and polite, he impressed me with his creativity, professionalism and eagerness to participate in the script development process. Nick is very dedicated and passionate about his work and I was particularly taken by his obvious desire to help writers realise their creative vision. Nick has terrific potential as a script editor and story development professional for the stage and screen and I wish him every luck with his creative endeavour’s.
I have worked with Nicholas at the Australian Film, Television and Radio school (AFTRS). Here, Nick always delivered. His dramatic interrogation was incisive and his politeness always grounded the conversation in a positive and productive way. Simply he’s lovely, smart and brutal. Not a bad combo.
Nick was an enthusiastic and diligent student in the AFTRS Script Editing and Development course who graduated with a comprehensive grasp of screenwriting theory and plenty of experience collaborating with screenwriting students in a script editing role, across a range of screen formats. Nick combines an ability to offer key insights with a generous and empathetic approach to the role.
Working with Nick has helped my story so much. He always asks engaging questions that bring a new perspective and help me to tackle the problem areas in my script. I would recommend him to writers across all genres.
I have had the pleasure of working with Nick on both theatre and film projects. He has an ability to peel back the layers of a story and view them from angles you had not previously considered. Nick's attention to detail and structure can drastically improve a piece of writing. His perspective of 'Portrait' helped me understand my own film better!
